Do the numbers work? For Starlink to be viable it has to compete with terrestrial connectivity. So, once they have enough inter-satellite-capable satellites up, they can cover the oceans and remote areas where ground stations are impractical.

What kind of TAM does that add up to?

ISPs in the US rank very low in customer satisfaction, but is that enough to get people to use satellites to replace normal terrestrial links?
